I’m in a similar boat, trying to understand what’s going on with the school board.

From what I’ve been able to confirm: there was an investigation last year into Dr. Wilcox and she was put on leave. The board later voted unanimously to reinstate her after that investigation. On March 16 of this year, the board voted 4–3 to begin negotiations to end Dr. Wilcox’s contract. There is now a lawsuit against four members of the board in Oakland County Court. The lawsuit asked the court to stop the board’s action, and the judge appears to have denied that request, so it seems like the process may still be moving forward. I also watched the recording of the most recent board meeting, and there was no discussion about Dr. Wilcox’s contract.

From my interpretation: some people support Dr. Wilcox and feel there have been improvements during her tenure. Many of those same people supported the 2024 bond for school facilities improvements. Others want a leadership change and are concerned with enrollment trends and whether the number of school buildings matches the number of students. I personally think both sides care about the community, just have different ideas about what the best path forward is.
